What is fishin like at KY and Barkley......I'm headed down there with the Wife Friday

I fished the hopkins county bass club tournament out of kdv last weekend, and it took 25 pound sack to win that was a 5 fish limit... looked like those fish came off of a ledge somewhere.. and second was 20 pound sack with 3 of them smallies. with this bipolar weather that we are having to forget about the deep fish as well.. cuz they might still be there

Bruce and I fished that tournament as well. I think there were 60-65 boats in it. We came in 8th with 14.63 pounds. All the fish we weighed in came off of drops. We caught 3 keepers that we culled on top-water and flukes early. We caught 7 more keepers all day fishing two drops (one on north barkley, the other on north kentucky) after that ended. I don't remember what it took to get a check (they payed 10 places), but I suspect it was 13 and change.

All our ledge fish were caught on texas rigged creature baits. watermellon with red glitter.

I got experience that transition last year for two days. It was frustrating to say the least. Dave, how long do you expect this to last? I am going to be in Paris in a couple of weeks doing photos with some pro's. The photos may not be very good if we cannot catch any fish.

Tim they are catching them in Paris in the grass and should make for some good pics.

Tim you need to stay home and work on your book, I can't wait for a copy.

Now if you were going to Paris France and take photo's of the pro's over there I might be interested.

LOL I will be working on the book some while I am there, but when Strike King wants to foot the bill and put me in the boat with KVD and the rest of the Strike King pro's I sure am not going to turn them down!

Tim....how long it lasts depends on water temps but I would expect about 2-3 more weeks but improving along the way. Have had some good days down in the grass around Paris lately, but also some slow days...if you get a nice overcast rainy day like we had the past two days it is very good down there on topwater.

That's what I am hoping happens with these cooling temps. Will be down there Oct. 14-17 so hopefully we can get some good fish.
